Best example of difference between Reagan & W |
|
Back in the day, I detested Reagan, but, at least he had a certain, well, style. The best example I could think of - for those of us old enough to remember, Reagan had a lot of press conferences, and he would always call on Helen Thomas - and he played her like a 2-buck piccolo. She was so totally pissed off at his policies that she would lose it and start to make speeches instead of asking questions, and he would just stand there and smile in what appeared to be an indulgent manner.
W, on the other hand? NO more questions! She must be banished! Banished! She scared me! WAAAAAAAAAH!

1. Yup, Ronnie waited until his last couple of years to tug his ear, "Huh?" |

Georgie has been a pussy since day one.
P.S. No offense to any cats out there.
:P

...Reagan was smart enough to make light of his limitations...one important thing the Dim Son has never grasped (among many)

3. The best one I can think of... |

Ronald Reagan used bad jokes and harsh words to belittle our enemies.
George Bush uses bad jokes and harsh words to belittle our allies.

4. I remember the day ... |

Ronny was much more personable, though I detested his policies. At least he was able to own up to his "sins" when it all came to light.
He had a much better sense of humor and I think he really deeply believed in what he was doing(even though I didn't agree); unlike Shrubya who doesn't even know who chalabi is. ha!
And who could forget the "Borax" commercials....lol
RIP
